Hello there! I am Jester I am from the Philippines and I am a Lego enthusiast on the theme of Lego Star Wars and the Lego City Theme. Well I can really say about me I just a teenager who has been in his dark times and have been collecting Lego ever since he was an eight year old boy. I think that's that I can't really explain myself in detail (I suck at this ) Well I do hope you may enjoy me in my stay and also I may become in part of the brotherhood here! Also do forgive in my poor english

Hello everyone. I'm a newbie who recently started with strong interest in the colorful world of bricks and stubs. Personally I don't have a large collection of Lego to start with, but I'm pretty sure it will start to balloon at a healthy rate. If time and resource permit, I'll definitely be joining the ranks of reviewers here to post some sets or minifigures. Last but not least a big shout out to all fellow members who are from Singapore. And hope everyone is having a joyful season of Lego-ing, with all the big Lego sets which are self-rewarded as christmas gifts! We all love to have good reasons to spurge on Lego don't we? :)

Hello, I'm a newbie in the LEGO system. It's because of the birth of my son few months ago that I'm into it. He is just a reason for me to buy some LEGO :-) Something I always wanted to do before ;-) I know that there is already a review on that set, but I wanted to do something less technical, something for newbies from a newbie. Sorry if I don't use the righ names for bricks. I'm new... ;) I hope you will like it :) If it's against the rules to post another review of the same set, please let me know. I delete it. One more thing. I'm not an english native speaker. So please correct me if there is some mistakes :-) Ok, my first real set. A Creator one. Simple, not so expensive, and quite nice actually. I know that I’m going to get the X-Wing soon, so I wait to buy more Star Wars set in the future. But at the same time, the more I look into the Creator line-up, the more I see the possibilities of it. As you can see, it’s a 3in1 model set. But you can’t make 3 models out of the box, you can just make one at a time. I knew that of course (as everybody knows, but what about kids?). And I presume it’s not a bad idea to buy these kind of set by two minimum. For example, with this set I could build the truck, the car, and hook them together. Or do some kind of race between the two cars. Inside you get three polybags with bricks, and 3 manuals. One for each model. Each step is very well explained, you build few bricks per step, progress is steady and reasonable. Even for me it was fun. It took me about 30′ to build the main model. Most boring part is to “un-build” the model before making another one. The main model is a superb sport car with a rear mounted engine and scissor doors. There are less than 20 sport cars with these kind of doors in real-life. I don’t know which one they got the inspiration from, but I feel that the Lamborghini Aventador was partly used for this model. With a lot of imagination and beers, you could see some similarities. That is an aggressive front I quite like. Look at these air intakes. For sure the engine needs lot of oxygen. Original engine on this model was a V6, I want to modify it a little to make a V8. More powerful. More fun. Rear view is not bad either with 4 exhausters. I just wished that the little red tiled spoiler was placed a bit higher. What I find nice on that car are the transparent engine cover and the scissors doors. It’s fun to play with them. Look at this engine. I’m also planing to modify it. I find it a little bit too flat, too small and too low. It doesn’t look powerful enough for me. I’ll think of something. [update] I did some modifications on the engine. Still a V6. I wanted to make a V8 not as low as the original design, but then I couldn’t close the top. So I had to move the engine back (closer to the rear), with 2 cylinders lower than the other 4 (I’m not sure if that was accurate to real-life engines). The 2 yellow bricks are the injectors (didn’t have another colour – I wanted them black, or even red). There is no steering wheel on this car, something I wasn’t expecting anyway. I did modify the wheel system though. Originally, the wheels are connected by one axle. So they all spin at the same speed when you want to turn a corner with the car. You know that in your real car, you have a differential to help you turn because the wheel on the outside needs to spin faster than the wheel on the inside of the turn. So as you see on the picture, I cut the axle into two part thus I made some kind of “differential”. It’s easier to turn the car like that. Not perfect, but way easier. Beside that, I wished the roof would open as well. I like that car. It was fun to build, and it’s nice to play with it. The Lotus Seven Like Can’t get out of my mind that this model looks like a Lotus Seven. I like this model as well, but not as much as the main one. It was also fun to build. I have in mind to build it in red. I just need to find all bricks for that... The Truck That’s the model worth buying another box for. I think that a child would play a lot with one of the sportcar and that truck. The crane is articulated. But don’t expect it to be that useful, the moving parts are a bit too loose and thus don’t keep their position. It’s often falling down one way or another. But may be it’s because I didn’t tighten them together that well. As I prefer the main design, I didn’t really bother fixing that problem for now.

Hi everyone! I'm new to the forums, but not new to LEGO. I've been building since I was a child, and while I got out of it during high school and college, the minifigs series brought me right bag in (Zombie figure, I love you). I grew up with the Crusaders and Forestmen series, mostly staying with the Castle series, though I did have a few beloved Paradisa sets. Now I mostly collect LotR or Hobbit sets. I'm planning out a Bree MOC, using the MMV (what a surprise, right?). I'm also a sucker for new Marvel minifigs, and of course the minifig series.

The 5 chosen heroes, their confidence high but their experience little, begin their walk to the meeting place designated on the Quest Sheet. Those 5 chosen heroes are none other than... Jeaux Elmfyre (joeshmoe554) *Party Leader!* Age: Unknown, Male Automaton Ranger Level 1 Power: 4 Health: 6/6 Gold: 5 Equipment: Sagitta (WP: 3, longbow) Inventory: Potion, Smoke Bomb, Bedroll Sir Brickington (Brickington) 19 year old human male knight Level 1 Power: 4 (Level 1 + WP: 3) Defense: 2 (SP: 2) Health: 10/10 Gold: 0 Equipment: Great Sword (WP: 3) and Triangle Shield (SP: 2) Inventory: Potion, Bedroll, Venom Name: Unknown. Most call him "Em," though his real name remains largely mysterious. (I just can't think of a good name, okay?) Age: Unknown. Presumably mid twenties. Gender: Male. Race: Human. Class: Ranger. Level 1 Power: 4 Health: 6/6 Gold: 10 Equipment: Bow(WP:3) Inventory: Smoke bomb, Potion Name: Arnulf Bishop (Shoker86) 30 yrs old male Human Rogue Level: 1 Power:4 (1+3) Halth: 7/7 Ether: 0 Gold: 0 Equipment: Dagger(WP:3) Inventory: Potion x2, Venom, Bedroll Karie Alderflask (Played by Kintober) 22 year old Human Rogue, lvl 1 Power: 4 Health: 7/7 Gold: 0 Equipment: Heirloom Dagger (WP:3) Inventory: Venom (1), Bedroll (1), Potion (1) The motley crew of rangers, rogues, and a single knight take a short moonlight walk through Eubric to their destination. Night had set, and with it, the meeting location looked more beautiful then ever... The Luminous Passage was an odd place, but a breathtaking one nonetheless. During the dark hours the forest was an eery, yet tranquil, place of wonder. Odd glowing bulbs dot all the foliage, lighting the way forward and illuminating he path ahead... Their contact, Allen Lias, was waiting for them just a bit deeper into the passage. The party notices a glowing spider, busily working away on his intricate web. Though most of the party merely heard him clicking his mouth as he worked, the rangers instead heard the illuminated little fellow whistling happily as he toiled away QM Note: Welcome to Quest 56, everybody! Please tell me if I somehow botched any of your inventories! I realize not all of you had a chance to prepare in the marketplace, but I may be busy for most of tonight, and I wanted to get this up. You all have 24 hours to confirm. Feel free to do some shopping in the marketplace before you post in here, if you wish - I'll edit your inventories accordingly with the new goods.

Hello All, My name is Josh and I have been playing Legos as long as I can remember (except for a time in High School when I was too busy). I live just outside of Kansas City, in Overland Park. I have amassed quite to collection of bricks. Even with what I have built, I still have 3 large plastic totes full. I really enjoy MOCs especially fire department stuff. I went to College to be a firefighter but never joined a department because i lacked experience (evil catch 22 if you ask me). At one time i was big into a Lego Fire Group called the International Association of Lego Fire Departments, or IALFD. I think it is now defunct but i still enjoy looking back at some of the pages made by the members. There were several of them back in the day. I started a similar list, organized differently, called the Association of Lego Emergency Medical Services. Currently I have a Lego Fire Department for a fictitious city call Morse that is based off my community made of both real physical Legos and .ldr models. The old website for it is http://www.freewebs.com/mfre/ One of these days, i plan on updating that (read as "I forgot the login info")
